I haven't been sculpting as much because it is expensive to cast a piece in bronze. My work is very representational, so it will be interesting to see how much detail I can maintain in my work using this process. Thanks so much for sharing what would have taken me years (if ever) to figure out. I'm signing up for your online class next.

Full time painter/artist. 3D is my favourite art form but due to limited access to a foundry and kilns over the past 10 years I have developed my painting. I still long for clay though. I have recently discovered paperclay and there is not enough time in the day to explore all the images i have conjured up and not been able to execute in the past 20 years.

I stumbled across this website in an effort to find a medium that I could use with more satisfaction than with regular earth clay and I am so glad to have found this one. It seems that Lorri has already been through what I am taking on now. Trying to find a medium that can be used to create sculpture that is more free form and can be spread out and natural without having to make molds....which I hate doing. I am looking forward to taking the online course and learning as much as possible.

After raising a family of five children, my masterpieces at the time, I returned to oil and pastel painting, teaching, exhibiting, winning an award here and there. But sculpture kept calling my name until I finally heard it, responded, and now I can only sculpt! (Oh, and draw which is a first cousin to sculpting - but that's another story.) My heart is expressed through sculpture, and so I will continue to explore. Happily married 38 years, living in the beautiful desert, grandmother of 5. Website: www.annette-everett.com

Living in Vancouver, BC. Sculpting in between earning a living doing other things [mostly dressmaking and gardening]. Enjoy conversation about experimental clay, art, philosophies...think the International Paperclay Symposium is awesome...
